Report: Boats Tip in High Winds on Potomac

About a dozen people had to be plucked from the frigid water near Hanes Point as high winds toppled a boat full of rowers from Georgetown University about 11:30 a.m.

Eight more rowers were rescued earlier in the day when a boat capsized near Thompson's Boat Center. All of the rescued rowers in both incidents were in good condition according to the NBC article.

Winds were sustained at 15-25 mph much of the day, with gusts between 30-40 mph throughout the area. A Small Craft Advisory had been issued for the Potomac waters yesterday and remains in effect through 10 p.m. tonight.
